A Bag of Hammers Page #5
So...
What do you want to do now?
Just let him sleep, man.
He's had a rough day.
Fine, but...
What do you wanna...
you know,
when are we gonna
get him situated?
Oh. Um...
Yeah.
Yeah, you're right.
Tomorrow we'll
pick him up a mattress
or a sofa bed,
or futon-
Whoa, won't the
foster-whatever have a...
Dude, they're not gonna
buy us a mattress.
- 'Us?'
- Kelsey.
- No-
- Besides, if we tell them we have him,
obviously they're going
to take him away.
Well, we're not gonna keep him.
Dude, that...
That wasn't the plan.
You're not like
all of a sudden...
What did you think we hid
him from the cops for?
I dunno. Keep him
out of a group home?
I think it's time to,
you know, step up.
And I think this happened
to us for a reason.
- We can't even keep fish!
- Ben, you're spiraling.
What about his real father?
I mean, he must have...
Yeah of course, sure,
but no, he's not involved.
It doesn't matter.
Doesn't matter.
At least he's blood,
better than nothing.
- We're not 'nothing.'
- Well, I know when the novelty wears off
- and you ditch this kid, that's forever.
- No.
His father isn't your father.
That's nice.
The last thing the kid needs
is to be gotten rid of
one more time
so let's just find out
where his dad is
and take him there.
I can't go to my dad!
I don't even know him.
How long have you
been standing there?
I haven't seen him
since I was little.
He doesn't want me.
That's what he said.
- Kelsey-
- No, I won't go!
What if you had to go?
I'd run away.
That's harder than
it sounds, bud.
Trust me, I know.
like you two.
I don't know. Okay?
Don't make me go.
Okay?
Don't make me go.
Promise?
Okay.
Promise.
Go back to bed, okay.
Ben?
Ben...
- Ben-
- You just promised him he could stay.
- Did you see his face?
- He's twelve. He'll get over it.
- How can you say that?
- We steal sh*t.
We do what we want.
We do not raise children.
That is not what
we set out to do.
He has no one.
We had each other.
Him or me?
I decided.
Well, f*** you!
- Ben.
- Hi, Marty.
You look perturbed.
What the f***'s
the matter with you?
I just... I need
a place to sleep.
Take the Camry, in the garage.
What's going on?
Where's Alan?
We had a fight.
Ah.
Alan wants to keep Kelsey.
For a sleepover?
What? No!
own ticket and now...
- No sh*t.
- Yeah.
And now Alan just
wants to just change
our whole f***ing situation
so I was like 'no.'
- No f***ing way. No.
- No, no. Ben, listen...
I'm no psychologist.
Relationships?
Never been my strong point.
Look at you two.
You're lucky.
Out here ten years -
nothing but each other.
You and Alan together...
So?
So you're worthless to me
without each other.
Because you won't make a dime.
Thanks for the...
Jesus, Marty!
And the swell of my sea
is the call of all being
And the sun brings me through
And the moon draws the waves
and the pull of my heart
to the stars I keep seeing
I am light I am dark
I am no more afraid
We are off for all time
We are off as still feeling
Praise the Lord we are one...
Oh my god. I am so sorry.
I completely didn't see you.
Oh, me neither.
Oh that's my crystal decanter
for my father's
sixty-fifth birthday.
Did I tell you about my son?
I wanted him to go
to dental school,
but no, he wants to
study photography.
That's my curse.
- and I said to him-
- What am I supposed to do?
This was like four
hundred dollars!
Where's the receipt?
- What the f***?!
- Hey...
- Hey.
- I didn't see you.
Out of curiosity,
how much did you take today?
About a hundred.
- A hundred?
- Yep.
Dollars?
Stealing Girl Scout cookies?
Giving sperm?
Maybe if you grew up to
man sized crimes
instead of pranks.
No? Is it too much?
F***ing amateur hour.
I told you you'd be
worthless solo.
What's wrong?
Ben left.
What?
He won't stay if I keep Kelsey.
I'm not just gonna put
him into foster care,
I'm not gonna get rid of him.
He's staying with me.
What are you
talking about? Alan...?
It's fine, it's cool.
No one knows, Melanie.
We hide everything
from the police...
What do you mean you hid
everything from the police?
Are you crazy?
This is the stupidest
thing I have ever heard!
What is your problem?
I am helping this kid,
that's wrong?
- Even if that were true...
- It is true!
You don't know
how to do anything
except walk out on people.
- I'm not going to do that to him.
- Well you did it to me.
- Mel, I had to get out.
- You took Ben. Not me.
Who got hit when you left?
- That's not my fault.
- Of course it's not your fault.
Nothing's your fault.
Are you mad at me?
No.
Why not?
- Why would I be mad at you?
- Where did Ben go?
Is he coming back?
I don't know.
Can I stay?
Yep.
Cool.
Yo' man,
can I get a smoke from ya?
Ah...
Do I look like a father to you?
Do I look like
I should be a father?
I don't know.
Forget it.
Thank you.
Can I...
God bless you, friend.
I'm gonna go to bed.
Good night.
Good night.
What are you doing?
Nothing.
Where you been?
You can't... you can't do that.
Don't do that.
Don't f***ing walk on me, man.
So we're... we're gonna do this?
We're gonna raise
this little boy?
And feed it?
And stop him from crying,
and bleeding, and do homework?
And love him?
Why?
You know why.
What if we can't protect him?
I mean, what if he gets hurt?
What if we hurt him?
You know?
We can't do that...
Sorry...
It's alright.
You smell horrible...
You smell like bum piss.
Well, I did hug
a homeless person...
A woman.
She was very sad.
She looked like,
she needed a hug.
I gave...
You don't hug anyone,
and you hug a hobo?
Yeah. First I gave
her all my money.
Good for you.
But... she liked
the hug better I think.
Where's Kelsey?
He's asleep.
- Well, shall I go talk to him?
- Yeah, sure.
Everybody in this
place is dreaming
It's been that way forever
They're all gonna
wake up soon
They're all be hell
for leather
Up the smoky walls
of yesterday
And the dusty prince
of last year
And nicotine
burning sycophants
Blow me home
Blow me home, blow me home
Take me in hold me close
Blow me home
We're aware of perspective
to not be rejected
Blow me home
Blow me home,
blow me home tonight
You want some tea?
I don't like it.
Tea is for civilized people.
People drink tea
in centers of learning.
I've never had it before.
Well...
You're gonna have to learn.
Why?
